ander Macarthur, n man of some
scientific attainments, accompanied
by a drug clerk named Young, start
ed Sunday evening for Selkirk with
a load of provisions of about 400
pounds. his destination being the
north pole. For a long time Mr..
Macarthur has been in communica-
ton with the Smithsonian institute
ut Washington and other scientific
Institutes in the United States with
n view of making explorations in the
north a and it is American money
that takes him now. In a quiet way
MIR. Macarthur went on perfecting
his arrangements, providing himself
with complete outfits, including sci
entific instruments, cooking utensils,
canvas boat weighing p pounds,
plenty of firearms, and four years
ammunition. He will make a geo
logical collection, cast maps, etc.
He will take ponies from Selkirk

banv, and were in Albany in a few
moments, when a brief delay was
| suffered before we found a train on
the Delaware and Hudson Canal r.
r. \ night ride of 100 miles or
more brought us to a point where we
changed trains for the n. I. and
| Ontario Line to a point a few miles
south, situated in a pleasant valley,
where some of the head branches of
the west branch of the Delaware
unite to form a stream half as large
as the Connecticut at Barnet. The
Catskill Mountains shoot out their
foot hills or minor ranges in this di-
rectiOn until they disappear farther
north in the Susquehanna valley.
The high lands are clothed in hard
timber, including a heavy sprinkling
of maple, oak, chestnut and walnut
with some of the evergreen timber.
Milk seems to be the staple product
here, and trains are run 40 to 200
miles to the great cities of New York,
and Brooklyn. The land appears to
be good, the soil clayey and we con-
clude the pastures are good, though
they are now partially covered with
snow and ice, and we cannot Judge
very closely. The farm buildings
ARE not as good as in Orleans county.
The manure is nearly all thrown out
under the caves of the barns, and
the cattle are roaming about in the
highway and fields at pleasure: This
is a village of 1900 inhabitants, with
two newspapers, several churches
and the usual proportion of business
places. We have been watching the
temperance business a little in this
great state, in a rural section, where
agriculture seems to be the main bus
mess. At the best hotel in town
at all hotels, for that matter-liquor
is sold at an open bar. We notice
on many of the streets liquor signs,
and see indications of the liquor traf-
fc by huge piles of lager beer casks
and bottles. While sitting IN the
hotel we were interested in watching
the stream of travel that vas passing
to and from the bar in this, seem
ingly respectable liquor ~dispensary.
We counted to-day, in 20 minutes be-
fore dinner, p persons who went to
the drinking room. These included
a lot of drummers who came in from
the train, a set of men who appeared
to be business men from the stores,
and all the way down to a ragged
old tippler, who dragged himself in,
wearing one rubber and a common
boot. There were young men and
old men, moderate and immoderate
drinkers. They belong to hat great
caravan of rum drinkers who are fill
ing the graves and blighting the
homes of this fair country. We are
not sorry that u lot is cast in a
prohibition state, where the law,
public sentiment and good influences
are keeping the masses from this
maelstrom of ruin. The sun is shin
ing pleasantly, the sno is melting
away and it would seem to be the
opening Of spring in this locality.
We hope the MONITOR correspondents
will keep the paper well filled with
items, and keep that part up to its
nsnal standard of interest

A terrible accident occurred at
Rutland on the eve of the 18th.
James c.. Barrett, a leading mem
Der of the Rutland bar and son of
ex-Judge Barrett of the Supreme
Court, while sliding on a toboggan
was fatally injured. A board
that lined the slide on one side had
become split and loosened and the
narrow end projected into the slide
pointing up. Not knowing this Mr..
Barrett, his wife and Mrs. Charles
Harris mounted a toboggan and de-
seconded the chute. Mrs. Barrett
was in front and passed the splinter
unframed. Mrs. Harris, who was in
in the centre, came in contact with
it sustaining a long and deep cash
on the outside of one thigh. 1t then
entered one of Mr.. Barrett's thighs,
on the inside, and came out from
his back above the hip. having pen
etrated his abdomen and ruptured
the intestines. 1t threw him from
the toboggan and he was taken up
impaled, the board projecting several
inches at each end, but he was con-
scious. Medical aid arrived in a
few minutes. The board was re-
moved and he was taken to his home
where he died at midnight. The
ladies were taken from the chute,
Mrs. Barrett not knowing of her
husbands injury until she arrived.
Mrs. Harris is seriously but not
dangerously injured.
